00:00and also flipping over to the association pro basketball the los angeles clippers in town
00:04to take on my favorite team in the nba the new orleans pelicans joe overnight this line sat at
00:08minus one and a half some lines are up to two and also two and a half as a favorite
00:13towards the new
00:14orleans pelicans here a total listed at opening number at 229 and a half now up to two excuse me
00:19232 and a half and also now moving as high as 234 at some places joe clip pelicans tonight down
00:25there
00:25and all it's eight and four since february 21st is what the pelicans are they've won i believe what
00:31four straight now at home uh donnie and they're getting we just saw him cover his what went out
00:37right as an eight and a half point uh favorite and they covered the game so against dallas so this
00:43is
00:43and we've said it this is not a tanking team donnie because they don't have any draft picks to tank
00:48for
00:49so they all they did was get healthier down the stretch uh dejounte murray back zion playing
00:56this is a very dangerous team but the clippers again to me donnie is kawaii playing in this game
01:02is he not playing and if he's likely out it's kind of hard to trust him here although darius garland
01:08that's what you traded for him for uh he had another pretty big night with mathurin there uh last go
01:14around but it's so hard to back the clippers especially on the road in this spot without
01:20kawaii leonard on the court love me some pelicans no doubt about it joe but the game of the night
01:25could be at 9 30 p.m the los angeles lakers taking on the houston rocket you must say wait
01:30a second
01:30didn't they just play absolutely they just played and the lakers won that basketball game but now as
01:35we take a look at the los angeles lakers winners of nine of ten games joe they're the favorite tonight
01:40excuse me they're the dog tonight in houston minus two at those opening numbers you see the
01:43graphic up to minus two and a half at just about every outlet in a total of 222 and a
01:48half can the
01:49lakers keep the good times rolling here joe no no they can't uh when kevin durant goes to the podium
01:56and he's bent out of shape and says i lost the game i got to figure something out i can
02:01assure you
02:01he is going to figure it out he is not going to lose twice to lebron you can say a
02:07lot of things about
02:07kevin durant but he don't like losing uh donnie and the fact of what the lakers did by throwing two
02:13and three guys at him the entire time i guarantee you his teammates are going to step up in a
02:18big
02:18way tonight at home you're not beating the rockets twice in their own building the same way sure
02:25donchick will get his but i promise you durant is going to get his tonight lakers have won six games
02:30or as i said nine of ten games now a four and a half game lead there in the pacific
02:34standings over
02:35the phoenix suns here nine games in total on the nba docket tonight as it sits some good times to
02:41be
02:41happy nba nostalgia at its finest show we got a nice little story coming back because growing up
02:47sprite was always associated with the nba how about this from nba communications the nba and the coca
02:54cola company today announced a new global marketing partnership bringing sprite back as the league's
02:59official global soft drink partner the agreement marks the return of one of the most one of the nba's
03:04most iconic brand collaborations reuniting two names that have shared a deep connection to basketball
03:10culture for decades by the way that was it starry like who was the latest like where who was the
03:15uh most recent soft drink partner by the way who was it yeah that's a good question i mean it's
03:21well
03:21it's got to be either what coca-cola or a pepsi brand right whichever one of the uh the brands
03:26underneath it so if it's been coca i i don't know seven up still around donnie i don't know they
03:31just
03:32sprite take over seven up like what's going on here i didn't even know anybody see i could very well
03:37be yes sorry i don't know like i think that's what it is i don't think ever get caught up
03:42in
03:42the sierra miss yeah that could be yeah yeah yeah man seven up back up there lemon lime flavor man
03:48sprite seven up go toe to toe at this point but the one thing we do know joe maybe if
03:52they bring back
03:53sprite guys will stay healthy and not load management could that be a possibility why about
03:57yannis anthony cupo i want to be traded i don't want to be traded i want to get out of
04:00milwaukee
04:01probably just stay healthy and play for milwaukee left ankle sprain ruled out for tonight's matchup
04:06against the hawks this was last night and who why is he even playing the rest of the season joe
04:09why
04:10i have no no idea i wish he wouldn't uh just move on down here i want you healthy when
04:16you uh when you
04:16come on down to miami uh so let's let's not take any risks here uh yannis he will likely uh
04:24we might
04:24have seen his last game as a milwaukee bucket we're being completely honest here there's no way he wants
04:29to come back to this disaster re-evaluated that's how you know you have a pretty good team there
04:34that's trying to keep an eye on anthony edwards using those same terms i'm going to be re-evaluated
04:38in a week to two weeks most of us joe we go to the doctor they tell you hey give
04:41it two or three
04:42weeks nobody's re-evaluating us we just try to give it a go but anthony edwards going to be out
04:47inflammation on that right knee joe oh they didn't need him last night they will need him eventually
04:52at some point but this this is also feels like well we know it's a marathon not a sprint so
04:58let's uh let's leave it uh we're gonna need anthony edwards for a run in the postseason they
05:03didn't need him last night they handled business uh easily against phoenix i i think they can get
05:08away with a couple more wins uh without him by the way do we have a scheduled loss here joe
05:14coming up
05:15for the golden state wars as they take on the boston celtics night in the garden at 7 p.m
05:19line opened up
05:20around 11 and a half you see the graphic we're up to 12 and 12 and a half in the
05:23marketplace now and a
05:25total of 216 and a half the celtics bringing back that 1990s style of basketball defense defense
05:31defense tonight joe the problem is who's going to score for the warriors well i guess it's that
05:36they're hoping poor zingas right because it's his return to boston right is he going to get a little
05:41revenge going here tonight or is he likely going to stub his toe and be a late scratch i think
05:47that
05:47is going to be closer to what we're going to get here uh tonight and i love steph curry trying
05:52to
05:52convince everyone out he really does want to come back and play this no you don't like you have
05:57there's no part of you that wants to come back and play on this team this year no uh so
06:03yeah but
06:03maybe poor zingas stays healthy enough to play a quarter uh because i wouldn't trust him much
06:08further than that yeah jockeying for playoff positioning out here should we say some of these
06:12teams just limping across the finish line hoping to get there my philadelphia 76ers included here but
06:17the night cap tonight joe 9 30 p.m standalone game lakers and the rockets this game opened up
06:23as a two-point favorite for the rockets now sits at most outlets two and a half give or take
06:27you take
06:27look at that total 222 and a half the lakers on a six-game win streak winners of nine of
06:32the past
06:3210 games and we just saw this game play out where the lakers came away with a victory by holding
06:36the
06:37rockets to basically two points it felt like in the fourth quarter kevin duran upset maybe i gotta stay
06:42out of the way he said does he stay out of the way tonight and also joe can the rockets
06:46knock off the
06:46lakers listen the lakers kudos they won that game the other night but they needed a lot of things
06:53to go their way a they needed 24 turnovers from houston in order to be able to get that win
06:59and
07:00kevin durant couldn't get out of his own way nobody else could make a shot the rant was getting double
07:04team left and right and you saw we played it yesterday donny that post-game news conference
07:10durant was not happy blamed himself for not figuring out uh what's going on i promise you
07:17he's going to figure it out tonight whether sangun goes or not i think kevin durant uh unloads on the
07:23lakers here tonight nine pack in the association tonight joe let me just let's just go over some of
07:29the lines here that we have as well celtics favored by 12 thunder favored by 19 and a half on
07:35the road
07:35tonight the blazers on the road favored by 10 and a half points the timbrels at home favored by 13
07:41you take a look at the nuggets on the road favored by 13 and a half points you take a
07:45look at atlanta
07:46on the road favored by eight what happened the nba and the night-to-night basis joe we have good
07:50competition well some teams are tanking some teams have given up on the season but i got my eye on
07:55the
07:55prize tonight i'm taking a team nobody wants to take you stay tuned in hour number two and find out
08:01who
08:01that is we'll be right back after this short break pump day wednesday maybe the best part of your day
08:06will be thursday and friday watching college basketball maybe the best part of your day
08:10during that we'll be tuning in from 3 to 5 p.m eastern some of the highest ratings in network
08:15history expected on thursday and friday why kevin walsh and nani writes there will be live i guess we're
08:21calling it in-game live at this point let's welcome in kevin walsh here how we feeling today feeling good
08:25i feel fantastic i mean we've got quite a bit uh on our plate but i also feel like it's
08:34a little
08:34reserved like it's not the greatest nba card you've ever seen it's the two play-in games but it really
08:39just kind of sets everything up quite nicely of course for tomorrow the real beginning of the
08:45tournament yeah some people are saying here kevin tonight too in this game lebron james on the hunt
08:50now maybe for a max contract with how well he's playing with the los angeles lakers winners of nine of
08:5510 games here six games in a row just busted up the houston rockets and they're back for more
09:01the rockets are the favorites tonight kevin minus two and a half with a total of 222 and a half
09:05lebron
09:05james luka donchich for years to come in la is that what i'm hearing yeah so uh some true some
09:12probably
09:13not they're playing really well i'm sure lebron would love a max contract truly i don't know if
09:19he'd love it for it to be in los angeles next season it's it's hard to tell it's a long
09:25winding
09:26season the lakers through their 68 games have had about four different variations this seems to be
09:32the most enjoyable of the group though it's a really really interesting game when you try and figure out
09:39betting it because houston feels right and again like i don't know how they're going to figure out
09:48this offseason because eme yudoka is doing mostly nothing on that sideline now the only person i think
09:55durant likes in that organization is eme yudoka maybe amon thompson so who's actually going to be on this
10:03team next year i would assume alprin shangun is back tonight everything indicates he will be
10:10so that should mean the rockets are more dangerous in this game but man is that fourth quarter really
10:16the second half burned in my head just some of the worst offense they weren't even trying like they
10:23just kept putting durant at the top of the key and they're like oh no they're gonna trap and then
10:27they trapped and then he just passed the ball to austin reeds it's like what is happening here as we
10:32sit right now a laker team total would be the most interesting option on the board where i'm not
10:38fading houston for a second straight game at home against the same opponent i'm not sure defensively
10:44themselves though they can keep the lakers to 100 or less like they just did
10:51they needed a lot to go right now i mean 24 turnovers and kevin durant going to me but i
10:57like
10:57what oh my god they're double teaming me what do we do now kev like you got to be kidding
11:01me
11:02having shangun back it feels just the spot itself very tough to think that the lakers are going to
11:08go in there durant came up to the podium he was bent out of shape like i gotta this is
11:14inexcusable
11:15year it feels like if they're gonna bounce back this is the spot for them to bounce back
11:21at home especially with shangun already being cleared now to play tonight yeah i totally agree
11:27right that's why i wouldn't want to play the lakers at plus two and a half because this is
11:33even i don't know when you take the best team in the league against the worst team in the league
11:37and
11:37they do these double ups in the same arena yeah it's very very difficult to go and beat the team
11:44it's hard for the home team to grab two wins much less the road team here but the rocket stuff
11:50was so bad
11:52and bad in a way joe that i don't want to involve them and how i'm going to bet this
11:59game on the
12:00offensive side where i don't know like this idea that that durant is now going to mope and just sit
12:07in the corner this game and just be pj tucker and let shangun figure it out feels on the board
12:14and i'm
12:15not sure that's the solution either i think bringing shangun back is probably not going to be better for
12:21their defense so betting the lakers to score i would assume the number's around 110 and a half
12:27right so the lakers getting to around a buck 15 and hey if the rockets are on good for them
12:32but we
12:33can still win that bet where it's not a direct direct fade of houston and i would i totally agree
12:38is a very good spot for them take a look at me tonight in the association hold your nose people
12:43the denver nuggets are coming to town destruction terror and mayhem on their mind to take on the
12:47memphis grizzlies did you know this game opened up around 13 points here 13 and a half depending
12:52where you're shopping at some outlets have moved to 12 and a half but for me that total 242 and
12:56a
12:56half shows we're going to get some up and down action to me and also the memphis grizzlies only
13:01getting 25 of the tickets here i'm taking the grizzlies tonight at home getting close to two
13:08touchdowns and the example is easy joe nobody wants to take the memphis grizzlies tonight you know what
13:14you void the rs he's taking the memphis grizzlies tonight we're taking the points again tonight
13:19joe and i think we're going to go for another 2 and 0 sweep i agree right second of a
13:24back-to-back
13:24it's not like denver has been some sort of covering machine here uh donnie down the road so yes uh
13:30expect uh a pretty good punch here especially with that big a total too at 242 and a half i'll
13:36take
13:36those points no problem let's flip it over to the professional ranks joe the los angeles clippers
13:41in town to take on my favorite team in the nba outside the philadelphia 76ers the new orleans
13:46pelicans tonight and take a look at this the pels let's say 51 chance to win this game outright the
13:53clippers at 49 if we're taking a look here and say you know what i do think that the clippers
13:58can cover
13:59this 100 investment pays back 205 that's plus money come on now joe you know i can't go against my
14:05pals i can't do it well here's the deal kawhi leonard is going to be in the building he is
14:12still
14:12listed as questionable uh this morning here donnie but uh he is on the road trip with him and i
14:19think
14:19that's a good sign that he did not stay back here so if he goes here tonight keep an eye
14:24on this yeah
14:25i'd like the clippers chances but you're also not going to get it at this number if he is cleared
14:29to go
14:30bottom line is the pelicans very hard uh donnie to go against them they're playing their best
14:36basketball they're finally healthy they're not tanking doesn't this scream over one way or the
14:42other i mean keep in mind the clippers are playing at a faster pace now than they ever did with
14:47james
14:47harden you know who's just an absolute ball hog so yeah i kind of like the clippers chances if kawhi
14:54goes i really like the over in this game though yeah seeing things in real time is always a lot
14:59of
14:59fun like on calci and certainly polymark you could slide that needle back and forth did you know
15:03yesterday joe at 4 10 p.m eastern which was the day before this game was played new orleans was
15:07actually trading at a 60 chance to win this game now down to 51 so you can see exactly where
15:12the
15:12money is going on a day-to-day minute-by-minute effort here let's take a look at the lakers
15:17they're
15:17in houston correct me if i'm wrong joe we just saw this game the lakers have won six games in
15:21a row
15:22nine of their past 10 and as we talked about kevin durant unhappy in his last post-game press conference
15:27looking to do some damage tonight it is houston that's currently trading to win this game at a
15:3254 chance the lakers at a 46 chance here joe well the spot screams houston you know these back-to
15:40-back
15:41home and home situations here for houston taking on the same team in the lakers and listen it took the
15:47late 24 turnovers for houston in that game and they still very much had an opportunity to win that game
15:54in the fourth quarter durant had one of his worst games he was double teamed nobody else uh stepped
16:00up and durant went to the podium he was not happy uh i can promise you you're going to get
16:06a better
16:06effort especially since sangun has actually been ruled in now he missed that game again against the
16:13lakers he ain't missing it here tonight i think houston bounces back in a big way and kevin durant props
16:20those point props looking pretty good tonight yeah we'll get to those in a moment if you like the
16:24lakers to win this game probably good chance they enter into the 100 point range if you want plus
16:28money joe you got to slide it up to 113 and a half as a lakers team total that's currently
16:33at 43 cents
16:34which means a hundred dollar investment would pay back 233 dollars if we also take a look joe and if
16:40i go
16:41triple double marketplace tonight you know we're always looking towards luka donchich if he pulls that off
16:47that's listed at 13 cents here joe a hundred dollar investment would pay back 770 dollars if luka goes
16:5310 plus 10 plus and 10 plus tonight you know luka's getting his right so we already know that uh
17:02in this
17:02one but sangun is going to be interesting uh because he's he's going to be a force inside he's going
17:08to
17:08be able to get a lot as well again all of this leads me to believe that maybe maybe we're
17:14going to
17:14get a bit of an over here tonight and the key guys they're going to have big nights scoring
17:20you do need that too and if you're looking at luka donchis tonight 30 points won't even get into that
17:24plus money category you got to go for 35 plus points here on the couch play show a hundred dollar
17:29investment on luka donchis to get 35 plus points tonight that pays back handsomely at 257 dollars here
17:37you
